May 18, 20169 yr what is bloc voting may I ask? When people vote for people based on who they are rather than the song. Nothing to see here as it doesn't even happen.
May 18, 20169 yr Lotti said the exact same thing as me so why am I getting that comment? Looool. Silly argument anyway and it was pretty unanimous on Dubtrack that everyone agreed it didn't happen. Moving on~
May 18, 20169 yr My plans have been cancelled which means I'm now FREEEEE :cheer: (please hang around for Jetta she's worth it)
May 18, 20169 yr mmhmmmm voting patterns are always coincidental :kink: Edited May 18, 20169 yr by ℒ𝓲𝓷𝓭𝓼𝒆𝔂
May 18, 20169 yr the term "bloc voting" has been thrown around quite a lot recently, quite often for the BANTER (i know i'm guilty of doing so xxx) but once again i'd like to say that if anyone actually has any FORMAL accusations to say them publicly/to the person involved. (srsly tho does anything really think this exists?)
May 18, 20169 yr Basically, bloc voting is only brought up when people get pissy over the fact they have DNQ'd or have not ended up in the top 20 of the final. In a Final of 40(?) songs people are bound to vote for the same countries if they have been in the past few finals. People just need to remember this is an online song contest, not a life or death situation. Now can we all get back to getting on with each other now?

May 18, 20169 yr Well said Cameron <3 Less cat claws more cat alarms. tbh less cats in general and more dogs >>>>
May 18, 20169 yr People just need to remember this is an online song contest, not a life or death situation. Now can we all get back to getting on with each other now? Please. I didn't enjoy last night, and I admit I was partially responsible for that, so for that I apologise. And no, bloc voting doesn't exist, in fact, the more we talk about it the less likely it'll exist so I have no worries this contest.
May 18, 20169 yr Furthermore, people are all for like 'Dance Bloc' 'Pop Hoes' etc, but that for some reason doesn't seem to be seen as Bloc voting... It is when you're actually friends with people in these 'groups' that the accusations start. So what if I know what countries I like the sound of? It doesn't mean I don't listen to the other songs in the contest.
May 18, 20169 yr we can use the dub session to bond xxxx (and also appreciate to some tennis court jamz *.* #pupokhype) http://www.newnownext.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/wimbledon-6.gif
May 18, 20169 yr We're reclaiming bloc voting as our joke tbh so that'll hopefully put to bed everyone bitter complaining that its just bloc voting if someone does better than them :lol: If I point people often, it's because of our similar tastes. Largely I'm closest to people on here who have very similar tastes to me, for example my fellow pop mods, naturally our points are going to go to each other often if we send songs that cross our tastes. If Regina, Lottsey, Cam, anyone I liked sent a shit song, I'd give it 0, of course. I admit I'll probably listen to the song before others if a country I love has sent it, but I wouldn't prioritise it in points if I didn't like it.
May 18, 20169 yr We did disprove bloc voting in the 29th contest when the main people accused of it still voted for the same people when the contest was "anonymous" for a month. Contest make up has changed a lot since then but I feel fairly happy with how voting goes at the moment. Every now and then the accountant in me raises an eyebrow but overall I'm not concerned.
May 18, 20169 yr yea I don't think the majority of people on here actually believe it happens but that doesn't stop accusations being thrown in the same directions each contest or when songs do well it's not because the song is any good it's down to them having 'bloc support'. Of course there's people that have similar tastes in music so it's only expected they're going to exchange points, it doesn't mean they're only doing it because of the person or to snub other countries.
